The Compact Stroller+

If you can keep it downstairs, then the Vista is excellent. It is so smooth even on bumpy sidewalks and off the path in parks. The basket is huge, so you can do nice grocery hauls or spend all day outside without having to hold your bags. It’s our everyday stroller, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve used it on the train as well; it’s totally fine for elevators but heavy if you have to carry it. I do have a travel stroller (Colugo) as well, and while I like it for out of town, it isn’t great on bumpy sidewalks or street construction.

Do not get the vista - bulky, 2nd kid never fit in it, so heavy. I love the colugo travel stroller - tri-fold, fits in overhead bin (great for international travel) and can handle lots of wear and tear! Comes with a stroller bag and cupholder too.

If you don’t want to do Facebook marketplace, I would use rebel stork or goodbuygear. Both sell open box baby gear majorly discounted! I got a colugo travel stroller with them for $70 and it was brand new, just was previously opened but everything still in original packaging!

I have a Colugo travel stroller which I’m not loving but dealing with. My number one gripe is that there is no way to put a snack tray on it. Stroller snacks are very important to my children hahah! Otherwise, when we have flown we just gate checked, I’ve never had the desire to try and bring the stroller into the cabin.

I had a big diaper bag and hated it. I repurposed my Kavu as my diaper bag and it’s great tbh. Snacks or bottle/formula on one side, wipes/diaper/change of clothes on the other. We have a colugo travel stroller It’s compact and has a bag that makes it a backpack. It was super convenient when we were at the beach because we could use it on the boardwalk and then put it in the bag so it didn’t get sandy. It also fits on planes. But you won’t be able to use it until they’re a bit older, like 6 months
